"I think one way of reducing these things is to count the cost of air travel in real terms in terms of the environment.
"And if you cost that you would see that the tickets are extraordinarily cheap."

"I don't know how you would restrict it other than economically."

"We're changing the climate in a way that's irreversible. In our grandchildren's lifetimes it will be irreversible if we go on the way we are.
"I'm arguing that unless we do restrict it to some degree they're going to have a much bigger and more serious collapse."
"I certainly worry that the job I do involves me travelling. I have travelled by air only too frequently in the last six months in order to make programmes, some of them programmes about the very subject that we're talking about, which is, I daresay, a paradox."

"I see no future in being pessimistic because that leads you to say, 'To hell with it, why should I care?'
"I believe that way disaster lies. I feel an obligation - it's the only way you can get up in the morning is to believe that actually we can do something about it and I suppose I think we can."
